Manchester United are reportedly primed to sack Jose Mourinho if the Red Devils lost to Burnley on Sunday.

The Red Devils are in crisis mode and, after successive defeats to Tottenham and Brighton, face a fight to save their season after just three Premier League games.

Express Sport understands Mourinho has the backing of the Manchester United hierarchy - but the Daily Mail instead claim he will be relieved of his job if Burnley put them to the sword at Old Trafford.

To make matters worse for Mourinho, United players are reportedly excited by the prospect of Real Madrid legend and three-time Champions League winner Zinedine Zidane taking over.
